Former South Laurel Cardinal Zach Marcum plays for Troy as well...as for pipelines Im unaware, but I do know they look to KY occasionally

I disagree very much. Proffitt is an excellent passer for South Laurel and can score from to time but I think overall, Crawford is the better player. Defensively in the post and up on backcourt players, knowing when and when not to take shots (somethign Proffitt tends to not discern at times) and gaining entrance to the paint and scoring with his size and speed is something I think Crawford does better than Proffitt. Think of it this way, could Proffitt do the things he does without the players around him??? He makes the team better, but I think if Proffitt was on Corbin's team, he wouldn't look as impressive.

GREAT TOPIC I graduated from Corbin in 2005 vs my Father in 1982 a State Champ Team. I'm posting this from second hand information since my father hasn't gotten into the entire cyber world of Bluegrasspreps LOL According to him and his buddies, we had a minor size and overwhelming speed advantage over the old Redhound team, but it would have been a very good game in terms of smashmouth football.

on regards to the Cashen vs Trevor debate, i disagree ENTIRELY that Clint isn't the superior QB on several facets: System? Corbin is pretty 50/50 in play callin generally, isn't M'boro fairly similar? hmmm Long Ball? Clint has a great longball, he can throw it close to 50-60 something, thats A VERY LONG PASS, i will stick my neck out and say trevor doesnt throw 20 yards farther and i would bet you haven't watched the two lineup and see who can throw farther. I can recall Cashen's first game vs M'boro throwing a streak on a rope for roughly 45 yards right into a receivers arms. hmmm Head to Head: Passing camps are not necessarily reflective of a QBs passing ability, there are so many facets taken out of the game like poise, coverage recognition on a whole field not just the secondary, blitzing, etc. On real Head to head stats in two offense where the QB is the make or break system, Clint is 2-0. hmmm...

M'boros defense is EXTREMELY aggressive as far as play calling goes, Cashen will have man to man coverage all night as long as the line can give him a lil time, Cashen will pick apart M'boro for the 3rd year in a row. Corbin 28 M'boro 14

good job hounds, sounds like Clint played very well, the key to their success is giving him time to throw. With 3-5 secs in the pocket, Clint can pick apart nearly every defense...as long ashe doenst have to throw on the run or force passes, hes as good as anybody...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK HOUNDS

Saw this on another thread....Sams is from Corbin...Got to love a Redhound taking over a program..Found this on North's website... http://www.geocities.com/muhlenbergnorthfootball/Shane_sams_named_head_football_coach_at_mnhs.html Shane Sams Named Head Football Coach at Muhlenberg North April 11th, 2006 Shane Sams is the new head football coach at Muhlenberg North High School.

Whitley just seems to blow each game with Corbin. If the game is close Whitley will find a way to loss the game. They choke.

You beat me to it UKThrower, Grider was pretty good as a sophomore hitting the 150s on his best days in discus and i believe this past year was the first year he tried his hand in shotput so I expect him to do pretty well his junior year

Libby Davis-Corbin

Millay is a good ball player, I do recall him having some good size and some good footwork, I think he's got some potential at the next level.

Ohh I'm by no means downplaying his athletic ability, I think he's a great guy with a gift, I'm just stating that a 40 inch vertical is a ways off the floor...nonetheless best of luck to him in representing the Tri-County area well

Well...sadly injuries forced Mills, Lawson, and Marlow out of football and off the field conflicts with Cain kept him from going to the next level. Currently Stradley remains playing.

ohh get me by no means, the college I'm attending right now has roughly 5-10 players squatting 500+ at the NAIA level and the one particular year of high school was one of the strongest in school history but a 405 parallel squat is a great squat for someone his size, but its not something thats just unbelievable, I've never seen the kid play but I would be willing to say he can squat that much, in reference to my college(Cumberland) there are several running backs squatting 405 their freshmen year.

Sounds like pretty reliable sources, I apologize for coming off so harshly but with reason you can understand that in lifting threads numbers tend to get exaggerated and thats quite a feat for a young man, nonetheless its been achieved with some hardwork and a good workout plan. However, at the college level we do not condone squatting over 600 for it is very bad for the back at that amount, I would believe these coaches know when to cut off the weight for their players.

I've seen a few 500 lb squats but the 600 is bit hard to believe, and to have that many good squatters ashland needs to be winning some state championships or running for about 1,000 yards an outting.

Sounds a bit suspect, Power clean is usually the weakest lift among freshmen, a.) to be cleaning that much more than you bench that young almost never happens, b.) someone that young usually hasn't mastered the technique of power clean that well to be cleaning over 300 so i may have to call false on this claim

40" vertical leap? Some of the speed stories are pretty legitmate as he posted pretty good times at track meets in HS but over a 40" vert? there are good basketball players that don't have that kind of hops

Corbin 2001 Derek Marlow-Coastal Carolina Billy Cain-Marshall (bad ending there) Jarrod Lawson-Kentucky Chaz Stradley-WEstern Kentucky Isaac Mills-Possible Vanderbilt, another bad ending to that story

Actually with great form and some good leg strength and commitment to work, squatting 450-500 in HS isnot only capable but happens on many teams. In HS we had several players squatting well over 450 including a running back squatting 500 (great genetics, dad played in NFL) and a lineman hitting the 550 range. Its actually ALL about proper form.:thumb:

Corbin will be better and stronger up front, clint's gonna put the ball where he wants it out there, but without a go to guy like Blackwood the year before, its going to be harder than people think. THese skilled players have potential, but from personal experience with playing with him, Blackwood is a great athlete that many pale in comparison to on the current roster. I'm curious to see how Blake Freeman plays next year as he was running very towards the end of the season. Crawford could be that go to guy, he's certainly athletic enough to fill a void in this offense, but to say that this team is better than the past 6 or 7 years teams is a little mislead, they're not as strong or as athletic but I think they have the heart to do good things.

I just think 6 classes are too many for kentucky........texas only has 5A (but their highest division is divided in too I think) and they have 20 million poeple...we have what, 6 million? they have 6 million STUDENTS

Good advice blackshirts....just make sure you practice what you preach.

Corbin's Eric Blackwood is a heck of an athlete man.....he needs some more recognition. I know him to, we went to school together, great guy. He went to a combine in florida and smoked almost everyone speedwise.

6 classes is good, but i think 5 would be best......ky has a small population, 6 classes would be too many
